@The_Nintendo_Pedant please the contact form 😇

@The_Nintendo_Pedant it should show the selected rule next to any removed comments on articles, however, I can see it’s not showing that on your profile page if that is where you are looking (I’ll fix that).

We don’t want to derail comment threads by discussing moderation issues, therefore please use the contact form to discuss further why comments are removed. Thanks!

@rjejr @PikaPhantom an account is required to vote in these game score polls, as it is tied to your user games collection. You can verify this by viewing this page logged out.

Normal polls do have the option to allow guest votes; and it’s up to the author to decide depending on the question they are asking.

@Vegeta937 most welcome, it's a little frustrating when the facts are either misconstrued or just simply wrong. We even publish this stuff on the website.

@Spider-Kev wrong on both fronts. IGN used to own half of DF, but recently sold it back to them. DF are now fully independent.

We (Hookshot) own NL, PS, PX and TE. IGN are our advertising partner and only own a small minority stake in Hookshot.

The DF website is a collaboration project between Hookshot and DF with no involvement of IGN.

@Nanaki haha, thanks dude - can't believe it's been 20 years!

I can't tell you how much it's been a pleasure having Zion on the team here. He's such a lovely person and brings an amazing energy to his work, he will be missed! All the best for the future my @ziondood!

@molkom many thanks for the kind words, it is always rewarding to hear from people who enjoy what we do! Thanks to you also, if people didn't read/watch our content it wouldn't be worthwhile either!

@Ryu_Niiyama we don’t sell the data, we use it to pluck out audience stats that we can share with potential advertisers… eg “x% of our users have a Switch 2”

@Munchlax yeah, full price basically meaning games not on sale.

@_747_ thank you! Yes, every response counts and helps 😇

@Blaa @JohnnyMind @Misima @Smithicus thanks for the quick feedback, I've added some more 'None' and 'Other' options!

Nice article, very good job Jim x Norman. 😎

@N64-ROX when booking the flight there was no choice of different train times, just the one Lufthansa book you on. Otherwise I would have preferred more leeway!

@JohnnyMind thanks for the reply, and I've zapped that typo!

@KeeperBvK Lufthansa booked it all, I would have allowed more time if I had the choice. Oh well, managed to get home in the end! Sounds like @get2sammyb basically had the same happen to him on the same route tonight.

@Anti-Matter there were plenty of kids games, it has games from across the entire market.

@KeeperBvK sorry, I’ve made it clear now — the train was Cologne to Frankfurt Airport. I guess I was just unlucky!

Yes, we’ve got good connections to Rare and have dined with exRare folk in Ashby many times!

@NintendoWife we topped out at 265km/h on the day, and if it wasn’t 30 minutes late arriving it would have been far more enjoyable 😅

@KeeperBvK did you read my bit about the train? Haha, I guess either have pros and cons but those were my only options for the times I needed.

Did you know we’re based quite close to Ashby… small world!

@jojobar I did mention the cosplay and retro games — but I've added in a mention of the trading cards now! I agree there were lots of non-AAA game activities.

@_747_ thanks for your comment, really glad it was insightful and exactly the kind of response I was hoping for! ❤️

@Jack_Goetz I’ve been sent to Germany! 🇩🇪

@Tasuki I’m not sure what difference you’d expect that to make? They have a minority shareholding and we operate entirely independently from IGN — they just provide the ads.

@FishyS I officially feel old.

@doodlewhizz as we refine the data it will remove more from that label. Users can then report them if they wish. You can also report to ask to get it removed too.

@gaga64 ultimately we want the filtering/labels to be entirely community driven but needed to give it a boost start.

We’ll refine over the coming days and hopefully the community will help by getting involved. It’s not our intention to be the gate keeper — the community should drive that.

@Impossibilium @PineappleLake thanks, that’s super useful (now unfiltered)!

We’re starting out very liberal with the shovelware filter but as we get more data it will be a lot more refined.

Ultimately this is exactly what we want to achieve, hiding all the low effort content and giving more space to the real games.

@OctolingKing13 no, we don't earn anything through Better eShop at this time. You can buy eShop credit from https://codes.nintendolife.com/ though, that we get a cut of.

@Lofoten yes, we'll add more filter/sort options like that!

@Kalcheus we publish our funding policy here: https://www.nintendolife.com/ownership

However, as the Better eShop currently contains no adverts, or affiliate links, we will make no revenue from it as it is right now.

@JokerCK we're not focused on deals, more trying to filter out all the spam.

@Magician a "mute publisher" feature would be pretty easy to add, consider it requested!

@TheIrishJackomon I have deleted your response, and you can answer that question again

@LastFootnote thanks for the heads up... we've changed how the site handles pages with multiple YT embeds, and will now load them dynamically (as you click them) and therefore should help /alot/ in this area.

@garfreek many thanks for sharing, I've passed that on to the video team

@Mattock1987 they contain a coating to make them taste horrible: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/weirdness_nintendo_switch_game_cards_taste_absolutely_horrible_so_dont_try_to_eat_them

@Nintoz if you know, you know.

@JohnnyMind it may not have been your extension; we did push some new javascript changes live yesterday that appear didn't play nice with Firefox, they are fixed now though if you wanted to try again!

@WoomyNNYes very welcome, glad you like it!

@Skunkfish that's a fair point, the feature has been there for a while but it wasn't as obvious as it could have been, I've added some icons to make it clear when things are sortable!

@Kekshook you should upgrade man, 1.44 is the future!

@KIRO don't worry, I remember going to school with my 1.44mb floppies! The capacity these days is insane.

Already looking forward to the pun-heavy review, I'm in.

@HalBailman you're my new favourite reader.

@russell-marlow I don't expect everyone to understand, one day they'll come to a realisation and wish there was a re-vote option

I've never played a NASCAR game before, but this looks great so far... consider me interested!

@BitLounger oh dear — however I totally understand, I imagine I’m the only member on our team that hasn’t played this yet. I still need to finish BOTW 😇

@BitLounger so, it's four years later... how do you feel?

@NPC411 I'm sorry to hear you don't enjoy the site as much as you used to, things are always going to change and evolve over a period of time like a decade but personally speaking, I'm really proud of what the site has become and is what I always hoped it would be when I started it all those years ago.

On your topic of "life support" that is far from the reality, whilst global CPMs have dropped this past year we've mitigated that quite successfully and you'll be aware that our business hasn't laid off a single member of staff, unlike most firms you talk about, especially in video game news websites.

Our desire to have a paid-for ad-free version has been in the works for years, we probably first talked about it 5 years ago and have only just gotten around to it after discovering the Memberful system which does most of the heavy lifting for us. As others have mentioned it's something our readers have been asking for for a long time now and it's long overdue giving people the option to go ad-free.

@rjejr no, you'll have to sign up to his onlyfans to get those... that's nothing to do with NL.
